Marwood Reversemaster??

Has anyone heard of a Marwood Reversemaster? According to the sales brochure my 1978 Viking is fitted with an 'electrically operated' one.

Yes it was a device to hold the reversing catch "on" while reversing or to be more precise let it off at the flick of a switch after reversing was completed

It was easy to lose one's cool when revering and the mechanical reverse catch released itself every time you needed to inch forward as when you then tried to continue to reverse the outfit would go up in the middle and stay stopped

I can remember on a busy overshot crossroads nipping in and out of the car to reset the non Marwood equipped reverse catch

The air was blue !!

I used to have one fitted to a 1972 Robin 400.It was basicly a soliniod fitted to the brake rod under the A frame. looks like a shock absorber. it had 2 wire coming out of it which connected to the tow car reversing lights It worked well at the time.
